Book excerpt: Excerpt: ...that I should not in any way associate him with the plot. The following day was spent for the greater part in making further inquiries in Hatton Garden, and among the various Dutch merchants then in London. The story the senior partner of Messrs. Jacob and Bulenthall had told me had proved to be correct, and there could be no sort of doubt that Hayle had realized a very large sum of money by the transaction. What was more, I discovered that he had been seen in London within the previous twenty-four hours...

Book excerpt: "[...] "It's not very much," he muttered to himself after he had counted it, "but it ought to be sufficient for the business in hand. If I hadn't been fool enough to listen to that Frenchwoman on board, I shouldn't have played cards, and then it would have been double. Why the deuce wasn't I able to get Monsieur ashore? In that case I'd have got it all back, or I'd have known the reason why." The idea seemed to afford him some satisfaction, for he smiled, and then said to himself as if in terms of approbation, "By Jove, I believe you, my boy!" When he had counted his money and had returned it once more to its hiding-place, he buckled the belt round his person and unstrapped[...]".

Book Synopsis The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by : Robert Louis Stevenson
Download or read book The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published by A G Printing & Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MR. UTTERSON the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove. ‘I incline to, Cain’s heresy,’ he used to say. ‘I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly: ‘own way.’ In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.

Download or read book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde written by Robert Stevenson and published by Aegitas. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published in 1886. It is a gripping tale of the duality of human nature, exploring the themes of good and evil, morality, and identity. The story is set in Victorian London and follows the life of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a respected and wealthy physician, who becomes obsessed with the idea of separating the good and evil within himself. The story begins with Mr. Utterson, a lawyer, who is perplexed by the strange behavior of his friend Dr. Jekyll. He notices that Dr. Jekyll has become reclusive and has been seen in the company of an unsavory character named Mr. Hyde. Mr. Utterson becomes increasingly concerned when he learns that Dr. Jekyll has left his entire fortune to Mr. Hyde in his will. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Mr. Hyde is not just an unsavory character but is in fact the evil alter ego of Dr. Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll had created a potion that allowed him to transform into Mr. Hyde, giving him the freedom to indulge in his darkest desires without fear of judgment or consequence. However, as time goes on, the transformations become more frequent and unpredictable, leading to tragic consequences for those around him. The novella is a masterful exploration of the human psyche and the struggle between good and evil within each person. It highlights the dangers of repressing one's desires and urges, as well as the consequences of indulging in them without restraint. The character of Mr. Hyde represents the dark side of human nature, and Dr. Jekyll's struggle to control him represents the constant battle between good and evil within us all. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its suspenseful plot, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the importance of understanding and accepting our own inner demons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liverpool. May 1970. The students' occupation of the University has now ended, and an expert librarian is summoned to restore the order amongst tomes and papers. What he discovers, though, will precipitate him in a gloomy and sombre journey up to the darkest bottom of the black human nature. The songs by The Beatles and the great expectations mirrored in the new experiments in design act as counterpoint against a social situation on the edge of abyss, amid widespread unemployment and the loss of identity of an entire generation. And, all over, looms the long shadow of a strange professor, elusive and sinister, until the final revelation.

Book Synopsis The Strange Case of William Mumler, Spirit Photographer by : Louis Kaplan
Download or read book The Strange Case of William Mumler, Spirit Photographer written by Louis Kaplan and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1860s, William Mumler photographed ghostsa or so he claimed. Faint images of the dearly departed lurked in the background with the living, like his well-known photo of the recently assassinated Abraham Lincoln comforting Mary Todd. The practice came to be known as spirit photography, and some believed Mumler was channeling the dead. Skeptics, however, called it a fraudulent trick on the gullible, taking advantage of the grieving at a time of suffering and loss. Mumlera s insistence that his work brought back the dead led to a sensational trial in 1869 that was the talk of the nation.

This book was released on 2008-05-08 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Instantly the spirit of hell awoke in me and raged...I was suddenly struck through the heart by a cold thrill of terror.' Stevenson's short novel, published in 1886, became an instant classic. It was a Gothic horror that originated in a feverish nightmare, whose hallucinatory setting in the murky back streets of London gripped a nation mesmerized by crime and violence. The respectable doctor's mysterious relationship with his disreputable associate is finally revealed in one of the most original and thrilling endings in English literature. In addition to Jekyll and Hyde, this edition also includes a number of short stories and essays written by Stevenson in the 1880s, minor masterpieces of fiction and comment: 'The Body Snatcher', 'Markheim', and 'Olalla' feature grave-robbing, a sinister double, and degeneracy, while 'A Chapter on Dreams' and 'A Gossip on Romance' discuss artistic creation and the 'romance' form. Appendixes provide extracts from contemporary writings on personality disorder, which set Stevenson's tale in its full historical context.

Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
